There are a few situations in the business world that Troy Hazard has not experienced and survived. The entrepreneurial genius, who has founded and nurtured twelve businesses over two decades, has turned around businesses that were making enormous losses and has consulted to countless successful companies including Goodyear, Baskin Robbins, Subway, Fisher & Paykel and many more.
Through his business career he has owned a diverse range of businesses including a recording studio, an advertising agency, a pizza restaurant franchise, real estate brokerage, property development company, pool and spa service company, leading franchise consulting business, a technology business, and a television production and broadcast facility.
Hazard's business talents earned him international respect, so much so that he was elected by the world's foremost business leaders for the role of Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization, a role he says was one of his greatest challenges.
"That was by far the toughest leadership position I have held," he admits, speaking of an organization that represents a global community of successful business owners. "I was leading leaders who lead leaders who lead people - a large collection of the world's most brilliant business minds, it was extremely challenging, rewarding, and thrilling at the same time."
Hazard's experiences in the business world have allowed him valuable insight into the workings of organizations and the minds of customers. His particular area of specialty is in the franchise space where he has been a leading consultant for nearly 25 years.
It's this same experience that gives Hazard such great value as a CSP, Certified Speaking Professional, and as the host on the hugely successful national network business television shows in Australia 'Inside Franchising' and 'Don't Come Monday.'
He is also the host of his own Cable TV talk show in the USA - 'Gettin' Down 2 Business', on the BizTV Cable Network and TiVo broadcasting into 30 million homes each week, and a regular Co-Host on 'The Big Biz Show' on the CBS Talk Radio Network and the Business Talk Radio Network broadcasting to 1.5 Million Radio Listeners, and simulcast the BizTV Cable Network.
Troy's lessons from the edge provide businesses with potent and refined tools, a collection of which you will find in his bestselling business book, Future-Proofing Your Business: Real Life Strategies to Prepare Your Business for Tomorrow, Today!
"The 2012 MDRT Meeting was a phenomenal success, thank you for being part of this years program. Your participation was instrumental in making the Annual Meeting a wonderful experience for our members and VIP guests. The program development committee spent 15 months finding the right people to create a memorable program, clearly they made a great choice in selecting YOU! We appreciate the enormous effort you put into preparing your message and delivering it with passion to the MDRT audience."
“Troy delivered a highly effective and engaging presentation as part of the US SMB Keynote Address at the 2012 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto. He was able to align to the key themes of our overall program while bringing his own flavor and keeping his agenda highly relevant to our audience. His anecdotes landed well thanks to a great balance of business acumen, energy and humor. I've received tremendously positive feedback from our attendees who found Troy's presentation to be enjoyable and applicable to their own businesses. Above all, I personally enjoyed working with Troy. It's a tall task to energize an audience at 8:30 in the morning on the final day of a week-long conference, but Troy pulled it off, and I'd recommend him to any organization seeking to inspire a "conscious change"!”
“Troy was well prepared to present to our audience. His presentation was both motivational and educational while delivering truly actionable next steps for attendees. On stage, Troy is super energized and he connected really well to the audience leveraging his personal experiences and business acumen. Highly recommend Troy!"
“In the 16 years we have been booking speakers, Troy Hazard is by far and away the very best convention speaker we have ever had. His session went way beyond my expectations and our franchisees LOVED him! They continued to talk about Troy’s message for the rest of the event and we are still hearing about how great they thought he was. The thing that impressed me the most was Troy’s extensive preparation. The effort that he put forth to really understand our culture and the objectives we set for the conference and the coming year was fantastic.”
“Troy absolutely nailed what our network needed. The perfect messages at just the right time. You had the room buzzing long after you left.”
"Troy's unique approach to a virtual meeting was both timely, and highly informative. In a time of so much uncertainty, our owners appreciated the opportunity to learn tactics they can implement today to help them prepare their businesses for success post-pandemic. I could almost hear them taking notes! This was not just a keynote, this was a highly engaging event that was just what our owners needed."
"Troy Hazard's presentation on how to Future-Proof Your Business was fantastic! I think his high energy delivery and actionable content had an impact on all of us. It certainly did on me. It was impressed how nuggets from his session continued to be discussed throughout the conference. Troy has a unique way of making learning fun while delivering concrete steps that can help transform any business. If you are seeking to catapult your franchisees into a new way of thinking, I recommend Troy"
"Troy really hit it out of the park! He listened to understand the theme and message that we wanted to deliver from an overall conference and content perspective and hit it on all cylinders. Troy has unique, real-world experience both as a franchisor and franchisee, as well as consulting with franchisors around the world—he's "been there, done that" in franchising. He spent the time on the front end leading into the conference finding out our objectives, and then determining how his message and what he's passionate about fit together to create a meaningful experience for the audience. And so, it wasn't about him, it was about them. Rather than theory or an esoteric type delivery, Troy delivers real world franchise perspective, and it really made a difference, really made a difference. I heard that from a number of our attendees. So, I just can't recommend Troy highly enough. If you're looking for a keynote speaker, give serious and strong consideration to Troy Hazard, because he brings it."
"Troy Hazard was an exceptional keynote speaker at two PMI Leadership Institute Meetings. Both times he delivered exceptional value to attendees, and his participation in the North America Leadership Institute Meeting turned an excellent conference into a memorable experience for those who attended."
"We selected Troy Hazard to present to both our Business Consultants and our Broker Owners at this years annual convention. Troy expertly crafted a solid platform of tactical, practical business tools that really resonated. What made Troy's session exceptional was that he then created an opening for everyone in the room to really dig into the fundamental driving inspiration behind why we do what we do both as franchisors and as Broker Owners. One evaluation said, 'Thanks you so much. It was powerful for me to know that you care enough about our success to bring someone like this in to work with us.' Troy's practical business message for our team was a great investment. The icing on the cake was the very real and authentic delivery of that message. I think that's why he had such a powerful impact on our group."
"We recently had Troy Hazard engage our franchisees in a powerful session and what an impact he had - for all of us! Troy's extensive franchise experience quickly established solid credibility with our franchisees and opened them up to hear his provocative message loud and clear. He challenged them to examine themselves, their goals and their future and WOW - did they resonate and respond to his session. Fantastic feedback from franchisees continues to roll in and we are so pleased with Troy's impact and message, we are bringing him back again in October to work with the entire system and creating regular webinars to keep the momentum going between now and then. Troy's session was an absolute home-run in every way!"
"WOW what fantastic results! The positive energy that Troy created in the room was remarkable and he literally set the tone for a great event. AMAZING! The residual buzz from the event has also been fantastic. Troy's passion for franchising and his solid tools for business success will ignite positive energy in ANY brand. If you need a keynote speaker to motivate, inspire and educate your franchisees, Troy is OUTSTANDING!"
"We brought Troy Hazard in to close our meeting and he was fantastic! He brought everything together in a seamless way and sent our franchisees off with solid tools to improve their businesses and their attitudes. I am so glad we had him close our day. It made a huge difference and we can't wait to bring him back for more."
"Troy is one of the most dynamic and exciting speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He goes straight to the heart! Dynamic, informative and great take home value."
"Troy did an outstanding job of bringing our global team together and getting them to think laterally. There has been a buzz around the world and the event has been noted as one of our most successful and highest rated ever!"
"Troy was phenomenal and extremely engaging in a 'how does this actually apply' way!"
"Troy’s unique approach to our meeting was both timely, and highly informative. In a time of so much uncertainty, our owners appreciated the opportunity to learn tactics they can implement today to help them prepare their businesses for success. This was not just a keynote, this was a highly engaging event that was just what our owners needed."
